agglomerate
Clump into one
Agglomerate means to gather into a mass or cluster.
The verb describes things collecting or being collected together without careful arrangement—more heaping than organizing.
As a noun or adjective, an agglomerate is the resulting jumbled mass: an agglomerate of rocks and debris.
In geology, agglomerate specifically refers to volcanic rock composed of irregular fragments fused together.
